This is the Official Handbook used by the San Fierro Police Department and contains information that is aimed towards our staff as a guide for common practice and code of conduct, and also as a reference for Aplicants and the public who wish to have knowledge about us.

To the Public

The San Fierro Police Department has an important mission to complete, that mission is to protect this city and make it a safer place for you and future gernations. With your best interests at heart and a strong disciplined police force, we will achieve this.Protect and Serve

Calling for help or assisstance

If you are in the need for emergency services you are able to contact both the SFPD and FDSA by dialing 911 (( /call 911 )) and advise the dispatcher where you are and what is happening, and if required (and possible), a description of the suspect. We will attempt to respond to all 911 calls, however, if for some reason we do not report you may need to call again.

Encountering the Police

In the San Fierro Police Department we pride ourselves in being professional, fair, and helpful. If you are stopped by an officer of the LSPD, do not run, that will only cause trouble for yourself. Be compliant and respectful (refer to us as officer, sir, or ma'am) and you will be shown respect back.

Police may conduct routine searches for illegal items, generally speaking unless you are behaving suspiciously you will not be searched. However, again, compliance is always taken into consideration.Officer Information

Miranda RightsThe Miranda Rights are an important part of the constitution. If a Police Officer were to forget to read the suspect his or her rights the suspect would be able to have all charges dropped and possibly be fired. Everytime a suspect is cuffed they must have their rights read to them, regardless of the location or situation you must read these rights each and every time.Failure to do so will result in an infraction.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

You have the right to an attorney after initial processing has been completed.

Do you understand these rights as I have said them?

Refueling Vehicles

You must keep all Police vehicles fuel tanks with a minimum of 50% fuel at all times. If you get in a chase you must have enough fuel to finish the duration of that chase. If you are running low on fuel in a chase and you know you won't be able to keep up, make sure you inform us all and have your car refueled immediately.Before going off duty you must return your car to the garage with a full tank.

Chain of CommandIf you are a Cadet, you are in your position for one reason, to obtain a better understanding of how the Police Department works. If somebody is a higher rank than you and tells you something, you had better do it. As a Cadet you may feel like you know everything there is to know. Trust us, you don't.Keep in mind, once you screw around at any rank then chances are you will be removed. Respect everyone in the Police Department, no matter what their rank is.Courtesy Be politeProfessionalism Show extreme competencyRespect Show consideration
